How to factor 5m2-29m+20?

Answer 1

Question :

5m^2 - 29m + 20

Steps:

What can u factor to get 20?

you can make 5 and 4 to make 20 so,..

1. Break it into groups

(5m^2 - 4m) + (-25m + 20)

*Factor out m from (5m^2 - 4m) : m(5m - 4)

*Factor out -5 from (-25m + 20) : -5(5m - 4)

2. Then, you can factor out the common term : (5m - 4) because they both have it. And then u would move the m by the -5 so,...

= (5m - 4)(m - 5) <======= Answer

Hope this helped!!!
